Nice idea but after a short test I found out that this configuration doesn't work. The path to a keyboard-event ist for example /dev/input/event5 or /dev/input/by-id/<kbd-id>. The problem is that this device nodes create key-press-events, key-release-events and so on. I think I'll leave the special buttons on the remote control alone and only use the arrow and ok keys. -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?
